One man show 

 
Ezekiel 4:1-3

God often commanded His prophets to proclaim His Word in theatrical ways. We see Ezekiel using street theater. God wrote the script, designed the set, chose the props, picked the actor and decided how long the show should run.

For over a year Ezekiel acted out this drama that spoke of God's coming judgment. The people who saw it clearly understood the message.

Drama can be a powerful way to express God's Word. What people see they do not easily forget. It can touch their heart and emotions. Drama puts flesh on words.

Consider street drama as a way of reaching out to your community. Start a church drama group and begin developing the necessary skills. Pray about inviting a Christian theater group to perform in your neighborhood.

More drama: Jer 13:1-11; 19:1-11; 27:2-11; Ezek. 12; John 8:3-11

Discipling Nations Quotes 
This is the third is a series of 3 sets of quotes on the topic of "Discipling Nations" taken from the ONLINE magazine*

"When I was on a field trip to Israel some years ago, I was fascinated by the sight of a forest in the desert. My professor said the Jews planted the trees when they returned to Israel. Then he gave an insight I'll never forget. He said, 'Darrow, there are two different visions for this land. The Arabs who lived here believed that Allah had put a curse on the land and that there was nothing they could do about it. The Jews believed the land could once again flow with milk and honey, and they began planting.'

These two peoples had the same natural resources, but their vision determined how they used the land. Our challenge is to find out how we can help communities and nations see themselves with God's eyes." Darrow Miller, U of N resource teacher and Vice President of Food for the Hungry.

"The church has had a tendency to drift toward two extremes. One is a 'social gospel' where everything becomes a humanitarian effort; the other is an 'other-world gospel' which seeks to get people saved but makes little effort to get involved with the daily needs of the people ... We do not have to fall into either extreme. We must get people saved and teach them His ways. The gospel that Jesus preached and taught is by its very nature holistic." -- Bob Fitts, Sr., pastor
